"Now, 'children," said the teacher to
the class in advanced arithmetic, "you
may recite in unison the table of value."
And the children repeated in chorus :
"Ten mills make a trus, ten trusts
make a combine, ten combines make a
merger, ten mergers make a magdate,
one magnate makes the money."
The failure of the Ameriran Alkali
Company casts some light upon typical
"promoting" methods. The "capital"
was $30,000,000. The common stock of
$24,000,000 was to be paid for patent
rights. There was to be $1,000,000 of
"real money," of which $950,000 was
paid in. i
Tub United States census report on
our iron and steel industries, just publish
d, states that $590,50,484 were in 1900
invested in the business in this country.
Yet he Steel Trust, which controls only
two-thirds of the industry, is capitalized
at $1,400,000,000. How can the con
clusion be escaped that In this sum
there are two buckets and a half of
"'water" for every one of "real money?"
However, thanks to the tariff, the people
pay a profit on it all 1

The Btate Committee and the organ

can name the delegites to the National
Convention to suit himself.
Onk of our great interests is being
transferred from thiscountry to Canada.
The destruction of out stock ranges on
tire public domain by overstocking and
tlbe indifference ot the Government to
fcnt "condition have caused the migration
linearly 30,000 American' stockmen to
b Dominion in the last two years.
There tfcey get range lands on the public
iomarn by lease and a homestead pri
vitage, somewhat on the range lease plan
of Australia, and it is expected that
Canada will soon enter the list as a beef
exporter in rivalry with us.
In its monthly Labor Journal the New
Zealand Government runs a standing
announcement that it has money to lend
settlers on freeholds and Crown lease
holds in sum of from $125 to $12,500.
The money is lent at five per cent in
terest, with easy repayments of the loan
at $5 per year on every $500 borrowed .
All of which goes to show that the semi
socialistic system of government of New
Zealand is not a financial failure, unless
it be that Its borrowing and lending
sche.ne collapses, through lack of firm
ness of foundation .
Now that we know that the British
army consumed in the South African
war 31,500,000 pounds of jim, says Har
per'B Weekly, the fact suggests some
nice computations in the statistics of
sweetmeats. For instance: If the British
army, in order to crush a comparatively
small provincial state that began the
war without an army, needs to be sus
tained by over 84,000,000 pounds of jam,
what quantity of jam would be necessary
for it if it had a real war with some great
military stale? Would there be jam
enough in the world to meet such a
crisis? And what would become of the
finances of the British Empire if in such
a case seme of the Chicrgo men should
"corner" all ihe jam in the world just
tore the war began ? ,
Avcoiuiisn to the statistics of the
government census of 1900, the capital
invested in the Iron and steel industries
was $590,530, 4S4. The properties at pres
ent owned by the Aineri. au Steel Com
pany represented less than two-thirds
f this sum. The capitalization of the
threat steel trust is 11,400,000,000. A
superficial analysis of the foregoing
figures will show that 250 per cent of this
capital stock is nothing more tangible
than water. In other words, there is
one dollar of It gitimutu value to two and
a half dollars of fictitious value. The
steel trust paid in dividends last year
lll,000,000. ltexpects to pay this year
$U0,00O,C00. In 1900 the entiro capital
of the meat-slaughtering and packing
interests of the United States aggregated
$90,000,000. The packing house trust,
of recent organization, embraces three
fourths of this invested sum, perhaps,
and its capitalization is $2,000,000,000.
The Inquiall've reader caa figure the
water out for himself. The six separate
corporations now merged into this
voracious trust paid $100,000,000 in
dividends lact year.

' recently at Antwerp, before sn imtnene
audience, that while the Boerd could be
led. thev could not be driven like bord
of cattle. He added that if any one tn d
to drive his countrymen too much there
might be a catastrophe iu South Africa.
The dispatch which announces the prob
able adoption of this financial policy
in the old Transvaal Republic and
Orange Free Btate adds that the loan
will not be floated for two of three years
ye, and lb t when it is floated the pay
ment will extend over a long period. It
goes without saying that any euch at
tempt to lighten Britain's vast burden
will be resented as an act of oppression
by the Boers, and virtually a breech of
faith on the part of their former enemy.
England should not forget that the
burgher soldiers maue no unconditional
surrender. Peace was effected rather as
a compromise than as the result of force
carried to the last dilch. The chief en
gineer of the Tiansvaal recently declared
in an interview that his countrymen
would not submit tamely to the smallest
departure from the treaty of peace.
Future improvements in farming
must, to a large extent, be in their
nature scientific, or involve a scientific
knowledge of the subjects. The thing
that we all want is to get the largest
possible return for our labor. And
more than that ; we know tha' we must
keep up the ability of our soils to go on
producing. To do this will surely re
quire the aid of science. We do not
doubt that there is in nature, in some
shape, plant food sufficient to keep the
whole surface of the earth fertile and
productive as long as the human race
lives on the earth ; but there is no way
to discover snd utilize this without a
scientific knowledge of plants and of all
the elements required for their develop
ment and how to get out of the stores of
nature all that may be required in the
future. These are the facts that no
thoughful person will controvert, and,
therefore, it is a mattqr of the greatest
importance that every one who is con
cerned in farming should gut all the in
formation he possibly can on the scienti
fic side of the question. In the country
schools is the place to form the taste
and lay foundation for this study in the
rising generation. So, by all means, let
us do our best to g'it this subject taught
in all our count' y schools. St. Louis
Journal of Agriculture.
It would be a huge joke if the worship
pers of the protective tariff fetich drove
Harvey Scott out of the republican
party. The American Economist, of
New York, animadverts on his political
conduct more forcibly than decorously
in the following paragraph : H. W.
Scott, editor of the Portland "Oregon
ian," iB a candidate for election to the
Senate by the Oregon Legislature. He
is so far from being a Republican that
at a distance his candidacy seems like a
joke, No man in Oregon has done more
harm to the cause of Republicanism in
that Btate than this same Scott. Editor
of the leading newspaper in Oregon.it has
been in his power to betray the party
and knife its nominees.' He has most
industriously exercised that power. In
spite )f Scptt and the "Oregonian," Ore
gon has btitm held in the Republican
column. The earnest, devoted men who
direct the Republican newspapers of the
State outside of Portland have worked
hard to counteract the baleful effects of
Scott's treachery aud mendacity, and
they have succeeded. These men may
be depended upon to take caie of Scott's
senatorial ambition. He does not de
serve a single Republican vote. He
should look to the other Bide, which he
has always helped, for recognition and
reward Free-Trade liars like Scott of the
( "Oregonian" are the only ones who say
that the schedules were written and the
Tariff made by rapacious robbers out
side of congress. The country knows
better. Oregon Republicans know
better. They know what tremendous
benefits have come to Oregon through
the workings of the Dingley Tariff. .
Black Leg. !
Pearl, Oklahoma, Oct. 7, 1902. j
To the Editor I was surprised to sea
in the columns of the Courier-Herald a
sh-rt time ago that black leg bad ap-1
peared amongst the cattle in Clackamas
county. As that was my former home, I
yet feel an interest iu the welfare of its
c.tizens, and if you will kindlv grant me
space in your columns, i will give my
experience of five here. It is the worst
(oe oi ttie stockman In Oklahoma. There
is no known remedy once the disease at
tacks the animal. Our experience is,
the best thing to do is to lssolatejie
diseased animal, and as soon as itufe.s
burn or bury the carcass.
Of the many preventatives advertised,
the only one found of any tiractical value
is the vaccm e recommended by the Na
tional Bureau of Animal Industry, fur
nished five by the government through
the agricultural experiment station in
each state that iiuinuues for six months.

where the disease settles under the
skin. In rubbing the hand over the
hide it crackles like paper. Stockmen
here consider that as a positive proof of
the disease in ikinning the animal there
will be blood -shot places under the
skin. There is great danger in Bkin

the disease ever skins an animal that
dies with the black leg.

Bright's Disease.
The largest sum ever paid for a pre
scription, channed hands in San Fran
cisco, Aug. 30, 1901. The transfer in
volved in coin and stock $112,500.00 and
was paid by a party of business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia
betes, hitherto incurable diseases. j
They commenced the series investi-
tration of the specific Nov. 15, 1900.
They interviewed scores of the cured j
and tried it out on its merits by putting I
over three dozen cases on the trtatmen
and watching them. They also gt t phy
sicians to nainechronio, incurable ctii-es,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges . Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seven
per cent of the test caces were either
well or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen pr cent of
failures, tbe parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The inoceedinjis
of ibe investigating committee and the
clinical reports of the test cases were

Franklin Miles, M. D., LL. B., the
Celebrated Chicago Specialist, Will
Send $4 00 Worth of His New
Special Treatment Free to
Each of Our Readers.
When an experienced physician offers
to give away $40,000 worth of a New
Treatment ior disease of the heart,
nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is conclu
sive evidence that he has great faith in
it. And when hundreds of prominent
people Ireely testify to his unusual skill
and the superiority of his New Sptcial
Treatment, his liberality is certainly
worthy of serious consideration.
That D'. Miles is oue of the world's
most successful physicians is proven by
hundreds of testimonials from well
known people. One patient rjured after
failure of eleven Urand Kapius piyn
cians, two after being given up by six
and seven Chicago physicians, another
after nine leading doctoi s in New York
City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed.
1000 testimonials sent upon request.
The eminent Kev.W. Bell, D. D ,of Dayton, O ,

to state Hint from personal acquaintance we
know l)r. Miloa to be a most skillful specialist, a
man who has spared neitlier labor nor money to
keep himself ab. east of the great ailvancmeut in
medloal science."
The late Prof. J.S. Jewell, M. D., said: "by all
means publith your surprising results." Prof. J.
P. Boss, M. D.,Kx-Pres or Rush Mertioal College
wrote in 1874: "Or. Miles has laken two courses
of my private Instructions In diseases of the heart
and lungs." Mr. Tiuinan DeWeee, editor
Chicago fimes-Herald, states: "Dr. MtliScure l
me of years of inherited headaolie and dizziness."
The well-known mauulacturer of Freeport, 111..
J. C. Scott, savs: " had fruitlessly spent
thousands of dollars on physicians until I con
sulted Dr. Miles." M rs. Frank Smith, of Chicago
writes: l)r Miles cured me of dropsy after five
leading physicians had given me up."
This new system of special treatment
is thorouuhly scientific and immensely
superior to the ordinary methods.
As all aillicttd readers may have $4
